Roles of MoSEY1 in the utilization of glycogen and lipid droplets in appressoria. a Conidia were stained with I₂/KI for detection of glycogen translocation and degradation. b GFP-expressing conidia were stained with Bodipy for detection of lipid translocation and degradation. Scale bars: 10 μm. c, d Statistical analysis of glycogen and lipid transfer rate during conidia germination of Guy11, ΔMosey1 mutant, and complemented strains. Values are presented as means ± SD, calculated from three independent experiments. Single asterisk denotes a significant difference at P < 0.05. Double asterisks denote a significant difference at P < 0.01 (n = 2)
